Pretty short sighted take.
When we ceed the entire auto market to Chinese manufacturing, do you think our economy will thrive?
Do you believe they won’t use this power to influence our actions on the global stage?
Wait your 2 years and calm down.
Red hat, 25 years ago learned to recompile the kernel to make my sound card/modem work.
Because it’s shit.
If I apt install an app, I expect it NOT to be a snap. I want it to use shared libraries, not bring its own along. They hide from you that they are installing the snap not deb package.
Then you run into all sorts of permissions issues accessing the filesystem from the snap app… Because snap is rather broken in this regard.
Functionally snap is a worse solution then deb, but I guess it’s easier on the developer/maintainer as you don’t get lost in shared dependincy hell.
I feel snaps should be an option if you need cutting edge version of a software that can’t use your shared libs, but never the default install method.
You know Plex is trying to become a streaming platform, right? Just shoving that add supported streaming into you face all the time.
From someone who’s spent around 20 years with xbmc/Kodi. Even better, it’s free.
Daily, but not for what it was intended as. I replaced the disk with a 1TB one dual boot Ubuntu & use it as my main PC.
And your not taking into account the money the Chinese government is dumping into the industry to produce those low cost products.
The goal is to dominate the industry world wide, and you just want to allow that.
This isn’t ‘fear mongering’ this is realism.
Your last sentence is just hilarious. You believe we can’t do it because capitalism is bad, and so you want to cede the entire future of the industry to a forign power run by a dictator who would 100% use it as a weapon against us.
The world isn’t black or white, and in this case protectionism for local industry is the best of the many bad choices.
Frankly we should be dumping public money into the same industry, but we have a strong majority who are fighting it tooth & nail. If you want to be angry about the expensive EVs here, get upset about the lack of government subsidies compared to China.
